This ride is believed to have been built in 1958. Carters acquired the ride in 2001 from Chris Coombes. During 2001 we had new cars fabricated by Electric Mechanical Services of Reading, Berks. Much work was undertaken on the ride including replacing the brakes, chains, bearings, paybox, pillars and gates to name a few of the items! The ride was sent to Rundles of Lincolnshire in August 2001 for extensive engineering work. When it returned, Joby Carter decorated the ride, while Anna Carter contributed the scenic artwork. The ride is currently run by John Todd and it is our 'up in the air' machine.
